Dear Northwest Airlines,

It was lovely spending 9 hours of December 26 at Detroit Metro Airport thanks to your non-weather-related , completely unexplained delays and cancellations and meeting so many of your employees of varying competence. Above, Chris and I make the best of the Airport Bar experience.

Below, I get quite a bit of knitting done on my second Baby Surprise Jacket. For those of you who noted that this was an addictive project, you were absolutely right. This one is for a baby of as-yet-undetermined sex whose parents are serious deer hunters and all-around outdoorsy people.

To the right of it is a rusty nail. Thanks, Northwest!

Once the Northwest bit was over, however, we had a fun Christmas in Michigan. My mom's Minimalist Cardigan was a perfect fit. Here she is, full length and doing a sort of serious elegant look:

And here is the happy look:

And the first Baby Surprise Jacket was given to the mother-to-be. That baby girl will be fabulous!

We're heading back to Northwest Airlines in about two and a half hours. Send good thoughts our way!

The only way to enter or exit the Detroit airport via Northwest is with WAY LOW expectations. Then, you'll only be pleasantly surprised on the off chance things run on time. (I used to fly there all the time for business - ugh. If only I could have had a few rusty nails with my boss....)

Happy 2009! May it be filled with problem free air travel. Your Minimalist Cardi is fab, I've been tempted to make that one myself. What a wonderful gift. A BSJ is always a wonderful thing and you have proven it once again.
